Album: Mudcrutch
An orphan of the storm
She moved to Houston
To live below that copper colored sky
Louisiana girl
Born into losing
The skyline of the city made her cry
[Chorus:]
So Lord send me down a fallen angel
With a miracle to perform
I aint the kind who gives up
But I'm so tired of runnin'
Lord I'm just an orphan of the storm
She'd lived there before
When she was using
Now she's standing on the same old street again
Yea that hurricane it blew her back to Houston
And to give into the devils howlin' wind
[Chorus]
Now somewhere down the line
There must be salvation
She'd thought it through 20 years ago
But sin spoke a constant invitation
It was in her veins and wouldn't let her go
[Chorus]
Lord I'm just an orphan of the storm
